WILKES BOOTH.
How His Young Friend Was Frightened
When Lincoln Was Killed.

WASHINGTON, August 80. - The New
York Trlbuno's Washington special says: cal
though more than twenty-five years have passed
since that fatal shot fred in Fords theatcr one
frequently hears incidents related which have
bearing on the tragedy the chief actors in it.
John Wilkes Booth was almost as well known in
Washington as Mr.. Lincoln, and he had multitude
of devoted friends Not long ago l heard an ex-
confederate officer relate some of his personal reco
lections Of the assassin. Among other things he
said: lived very close to history-blood stained
as it was in those terrible DAYS
l. saw that the war was TirtU-
ally over and that the south was lost Weary of the
hopeless struggle, returned to my Maryland home
and obtained place postmaster at one of the lit
tie river towns on the north bank of the Potomac.
In those days a good deal of contraband mail was
sent across the river and through the lines under
cover at night. knew Booth wel and, like most
young men, admired him. A few nights before
the assassination he came to my house late in state
of considerable excitement He said that he had
lot of important letters which must be sent through
the lines that night. When the letters were
brought in l found that they filled sew
eral bags, and / told Booth that it would
be impossible to ship them all at once without dis
coyery He insisted that it was matter of life and
death, and that il could not get the mail across the
river he would undertake the job himself prom
sed to do the best l could, and he and his compan-
ions 70 lie of, Shortly afterwards spent several
days in Washington, and was much with Booth. He
was irritable and pre0ccupled, and drank good
deal, but neither his excitement nor his tipping
struck me, who knew him so we'll, as very unusual.
l was with him until the morning of that terrible
day, and that night, when the intelligence of the
awful crime spread like widfre through the city, a
horrible abyss seemed to open at my feet
"'Booth's midnight visit to my little postofice my
open, continuous and intimate association with
him i'll Washington for several days, the fact that
had in my possessiona magnificent photograph for
which he sat during that time all these crcum-
stances filed me with dread I knew that if fell
under suspicion and was arrested in that time of
horror and excitement, it would be probably i'm
possible for me to convince anybody that was not
prlvy to the crime. ! succeeded in eyclping from
the city and in avoiding suspicion. hut for many
weeks lived in constant terror: but was innocent.
] learned aiterward that none of the contIaband
letters about the forwarding Of which Booth eX-
pressed so much anxiety, contained hint of the
dreadful crime for which he at that time doubtless
was making preparations. If such had been the
case, l doubt not that swift warning would have
been sent TO Washington and the tragedy averted.'

WORK OLE THE STORM.

TOLEDO, September THE tornado which
visited this section yesterday originated in
southern Michigan. 1t first struck Sylvania,
a village ten miles north of here, blowing
down two gas well derricks and wrenching a
boiler from its brick foundation. Three horses
in pasture were killed by falling trees. All
tall trees were leveled. One farmer had fifty
acres of fine timber all blown down. A brick
school house, at Niche, was destroyed. The
track of the tornado was south by east from
here along the line of the Toledo and Ohio
railroad, and is from one to two hundred yards
wide. No fences or tall trees are standing.
Corn is scattered and houses and barns are
unroofed for miles. At Watervile, and other
villages to the southwark, much damage was
done and the total damage will amount TO
many thousand dollars. No loss of life is re-
ported.
The slate roofs of number of buildings were
badly damaged and the towering chimneys of
the main building of the insane asylum were
blown down, crushing in the roof. The total
loss to the insane asylum is $4,000 Dr. EN-
bury assistant superintendent of the asylum,
was driving into the grounds at the time. His
wife and little daughter were with him. His
buggy was overturned and all three were
thrown out The doctor held on to the horse,
which, with the vehicle, was lifted and carried
several rods. His wife and child were carried
over hundred feet and dropped into ditch
of two feet of water, from which they were res
cued unhurt. The Wabash train met the CEN
ter of the tornado and the smoke stack OF the
locomotive was carried Off.

The Orders of Parade of the Grand Army
Amended.

PHILADELPHIA, September 10.-The order
OF Department Commander Harper, of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, to be observed
on Friday next, the day of parade Of the Or
ganization, which has provoked considerable
criticism, owing to omission of any reference
to President Cleveland. was explained as fol-
lows today by Colonel Thomas j. Stewart, as
sistant adiutant general, department of Penn
sylvaDia, Grand Army Republic, who framed
the order. The order asissued, read as follows:
reviewed by Lieutenant General Philip II. sheridan,
United states army, none but post commanders
will salute Post cOIors will be dipped.
Colonel Stewart said today:
1T is all wrong to imagine that we intended
TO Slight the president. The order issued con-
Germs only tho Grand Army of the Republic
and is in every sense correct. 1t was issued
solely for the information of the grand army
mon who were anxious to know whether or not
they were to be reviewed by General Sheri-
dan. General Sheridan will review
them and that's what the order
says. But in saying so it does not ignore the
president, Or if it does, it was not so intended.
However, in order that there may be no mis-
construction Of that section of order, there
has been issued from headquarters supple
mentary order, including the president in the
salute. The supplementary order reads:
In passing the reviewing stand, at Broad and San
som streets, whore the column will be reviewed by
the president Of The United States, while being
dan, United States army, near the point of dis
missal, none but post commanders wiflsalute. Post
cOlOrs viii be depped Comrades will march by
without saluting, and eyes to the front.

The strike Of the bralemen on the Louisville

The People Have Jubilee on Its First
Trial.

TOLEDO, o., September 7.-Tonight was de-
voted to natural gas jubilee in honor of the
arrival of the new fuel in Toledo, it being
piped from Hancock and Wood county fields,
and stand pipes were erected on the principal
street corners, each bearing roaring torch of
fame as big as a haystack, burning under
pressure of 300 pounds to the square inch,
which makes the city as light as day. A
grand open-air meeting was held, the audience
numbering fully 15,000people. Mayor Halnil-
ton presided and ex-Presidedt II. Il. Hayes
was the orator Of the occasion.
In the course Of his Speech Mr.. Hayes read
a communication, written in reply to his own
inquiry, from Professor Edward orion, state
geologist, regarding the permanency of the
natural gas supply. Professor Orton thinks
the supply viii finally fail, but that it will be
years before there is any diminution OF The
present production from the deep strata. he
declared, emphatcally, that the supply in the
great fields Of northwestern Ohio and Indiana
will last much longer than the Pittsburg field,
because swells of Trenton field, which
acts as reservoirs for the gas, cover hundreds
Of square miles, while in Pennsylvania they
are of much less extent, the comparison being
the same as between an isolated mountain and
a vast mountain plateau. Professor orion
expressed the opinion that cities that have once
used this fuel will never go back TO coal, but
their plans will be perfected for making fuel
gas from coal very cheaply, so that it will be
more economical to use than coal, the use of
which he anathemizes as very wasteful I'M
clean and unhealthy.

NEW YORK, September THE extraordi-

ment of the conviction Of Jacob Sharp, con-
yened this morning.
1t appeared that Judge Van Brunt had al

trial and on on that ground Stickney thought
that three instead OF four judges would be
enough. The three judges held consultation
and agreed that Judge Van Brunt should form
a part of the bench.

strong enough to prevent it from caving in.
This afternoon Engineer Thompson thorough
ly examined this section of the work, and pro-
nounced it safe. He returned tonight. about
six O'Clock, and examined it again, with the
same result. He had scarcely left the tunnel,
however, when it caved in with tremendous
crash, burying the three men mentioned un-
der one hundred and twenty feet of earth.
There is positively no hope of Tescuing them
alive; a large force OF laborers was imme-
diately set to work, but it will be impossible to
reach the bodies of the entombed men for two
or three daYs. at least.
